How It Works

You may make free VoIP calls via Wi-Fi if you select "VoiP only" or "VoIP preferred" in IM+ Talk "Settings".

VOiP calls work in half-duplex mode so you would need to use the convenience key of your Blackberry to switch between "talk" and "listen" modes (like a walkie-talkie).

When you are not in Wi-Fi zone, you can still make calls using callback. In this case both the contact person and you will get the incoming call. This is because when you use callback you are actually making two calls: one - to Skype contact or to phone number and another - to your callback number. Both calls are charged according to standard Skype rates, therefore Skype credits or Skype subscription are required for all incoming and outgoing calls in IM+ Talk.

Please note that additional charges might apply in case if your phone provider charges the incoming calls on the callback number specified.

"With my Skype IM+ services all set up, carrier network disabled and WiFi turned on, I was able to successfully login to Skype as per normal and make calls direct from my BlackBerry using nothing but VoIP as well as chat with my contacts over WiFi."

CrackBerry

"If you're looking for a way to keep up with friends and family across the globe without piling up a hefty wireless bill, then IM+ Talk certainly looks like a terrific option."

Gear Diary

"Given the other options out there in the BlackBerry application space for apps that connect to Skype, I'd have to put Skype IM+ at the top. It does what it says. And if avoiding using your minutes or having to pay for each call via SkypeOut is a concern, it just might be worth the buy in price for you, especially if you have a Skype subscription."

CrackBerry

"Coupling this app with a Skype subscription, could be a money saving move in the longrun given the amount some carriers charge for roaming."

CrackBerry

"IM+ brings all of the Skype mobile messaging goodness you can handle to webOS. Awesome."
